A private cruise transfer to or from Port of Miami and Cornerstone Beach Resort runs about 145.5 miles in 158–170 minutes via I-595, at a flat rate from $350 per vehicle — a reserved black SUV with a bilingual chauffeur, luggage help, and pickup right at your ship’s own terminal.
Each rate below covers the whole vehicle one way, to or from the cruise terminals — never per person, never surge-priced.
Skip the taxi line and the luggage-on-the-sidewalk scramble — reserve a reserved black SUV in advance and the terminal pickup is planned around your ship, not around app availability.
The chauffeur loads the bags at the terminal curb and takes I-595, so the roughly 145.5 miles to Cornerstone Beach Resort is a single, direct leg.
It feels closer to riding with friends than hailing a car — a higher level of service, personal and organized, with the vehicle reserved for your group alone.
Budget 158 to 170 minutes between Port of Miami and Cornerstone Beach Resort, depending on the hour.
Saturday and Sunday mornings are the port’s rush — thousands of passengers walk off the ships at once — so the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation, with the I-595 traffic already priced into the plan.
Courtesy wait time is included on every booking:
The flat rate is honest because its edges are clear — these are not included:
Families come off the ships every week — the car seat side is handled:
Estero Island keeps it barefoot — wide sand, the Times Square pier district, and dolphin-filled passes at either end.
Anything about the stay itself lives at Cornerstone Beach Resort’s official page; the ride to the ship is our part.
Ships rarely clear all passengers at one exact minute, so the pickup is planned around your ship’s arrival with the included 30-minute wait absorbing customs and the luggage hall — you walk out, the vehicle is there, and Cornerstone Beach Resort is next.
Staying at Cornerstone Beach Resort puts the shoreline steps away — plenty of guests trade the ship’s pool for real sand the same afternoon they disembark.
A gap between disembarkation and departure does not have to be spent at a food court: book the vehicle by the hour and see the city instead, bags safely aboard.
Guests here often fit in Estero Island and Times Square and the pier once they land ashore, with Lovers Key State Park and Matanzas Pass also nearby in Fort Myers Beach.
Payment stays flexible while the reservation stays firm:
At your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island — the driver is coordinated by message as you exit the hall and meets your group at the curb. Tell us the cruise line and we stage at the correct terminal.
As soon as your group clears the terminal — self-assist walkers are often out within the first hour, checked-luggage groups a little later. Your booking includes 30 minutes of complimentary wait, so the pace of customs never costs you the ride.
Yes. One seat for a child under 5 rides free on every booking; additional seats carry a small fee listed in the add-ons section of this page.
We watch the port schedule and shift the pickup to the ship’s actual arrival — no penalty, no re-booking. The same applies to delayed flights on airport legs.
For dawn embarkations or late-night returns, a modest after-hours amount applies:
The difference shows at 8 AM on a turnaround Saturday: app queues and climbing multipliers at the port exits on one side; on the other, a chauffeur already staged at your terminal at a fare set days ago.
After a week at sea, certainty beats convenience-on-demand: the reservation carries a built-in wait window, luggage help at the curb, and a driver who has run these terminals hundreds of times.

Curbside pickup is our main approach. Just message us your exit gate and the driver will roll up within minutes — typically quicker than the classic sign-holding option.
Should you rather have the driver wait in the terminal holding a sign with your name, we can set that up too for $20
The day before your ride, we’ll message you the driver’s name, the vehicle model, and its license plate, plus step-by-step curbside pickup directions.
No need to stress. We’ll message you the moment your flight touches down. If we don’t hear back quickly, the driver will automatically make his way to the international arrivals hall. Wait there and we’ll locate you; we never leave anyone stranded.
